USA v. Ducote et al

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Plaintiff,
vs.
DOMINIQUE DUCOTE,
Defendant.
4:25CR3106
ORDER
Defendant has moved to continue the pretrial motion deadline, (Filing No. 49), because
Defendant is awaiting discovery from the government. Based on the showing set forth in the
motion, the court finds good cause has been shown and the motion should be granted.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1) 	Defendant’s motion to continue, (Filing No. 49), is granted.
2) 	Pretrial motions and briefs shall be filed on or before April 2, 2026.
3) 	The conference call previously scheduled to be held on January 5, 2026, is
continued. 	A 	telephonic 	conference 	with 	counsel 	will 	be 	held 	before 	the
undersigned magistrate judge at 9:00 a.m. on April 3, 2026 to discuss setting any
pretrial motion hearing needed, a change of plea hearing, or the date of the jury
trial and deadlines for disclosing experts as required under Rule 16. Counsel for
all parties shall use the conferencing instructions provided by the court to
participate in the call.
4) 	The court finds that the ends of justice served by granting the motion to continue
outweigh the interests of the public and the defendants in a speedy trial, and the
additional time arising as a result of the granting of the motion, the time between
today’s date and April 3, 2026 shall be deemed excludable time in any computation
of time under the requirements of the Speedy Trial Act, because although counsel
have been duly diligent, additional time is needed to adequately prepare this case
for trial and failing to grant additional time might result in a miscarriage of justice.
18 U.S.C. § 3161(h)(1) & (h)(7). Failing to timely object to this order as provided
under this court’s local rules will be deemed a waiver of any right to later claim the
time should not have been excluded under the Speedy Trial Act.
Dated this 2nd day of January, 2026.
BY THE COURT:
